Publisher's Summary

By the 21st century, bombs and a deadly virus have reduced the male to female ratio to 1:10. Now what was America is ruled by tribes of woman warriors. Dian guards over her village and its people. But when strangers arrive with a precious gift and a request for aid, she must embark on a journey that leads her far from safety.

Leigh Richards is a pen name of best-selling author Laurie R. King. She fully brings her talent for vivid drama and suspense to Califia's Daughters.

If you are looking for epic Amazon fight scenes this is NOT the book for you. I was expecting fierce female warriors to be fighting each other for control over land and the male population. But this was not the case. I would have added much more action to much village life and not enough war life.

What does Alyssa Bresnahan bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

She is able to paint amazing picture with just her voice. I was truly able to see this strange futuristic time.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

disappointment.... not what i was expecting. But not an awful book. It was well written.

Out of her comfort zone I think, but well done. A story that captures your imagination and makes you wonder, "what if?" Hardest part to read is about the dogs, but Laurie King always puts a bit of and edge in her novels. Glad I read it.
